I’d give anything in the world
To hold you in my arms again
And gaze into your eyes of wonder
But I know in my heart these ideas are of desire
I feel this desire is pure and holds no doubt in the least
Continuing my journeys alone
I’ve met other people
But I still cannot find a place to call my own
I’m guessing that it’s maybe because
My heart is still left unsettled
And open to the world
You once said to me
“That all the love in the world
Cannot compare to the love I have for you.”
In a time when I believed each word
With conviction
I’d not have thought to respond with such words
“The love in the world also has hate to match it.”
Those words twist such heartfelt feelings
My heart is waning on despair
The eyes I gaze into now
Are my own in a mirror
I touch my hand to the cool glass
Staring upon the figure that is my own
I’d give anything to say three words
Straight from my heart
And apart of my very being
You shed light upon me
Lifted me up when I fell down
Held me steady
Like a small child learning to walk
For the very first time
My words linger on my lips
I speak with hesitation
My words aren’t so sure anymore
Maybe because I was left with insecurity
I ran off away from you
Into a world of more differences
Than I had imagined before
My heart split open
Rather than in two
Each day I seem to yearn more and more
To hold you
And be held by you
Cruel is all the illusions
Fading in and out of my head
Drifting in my endless ocean of memories
I wonder where you are in the world
I wonder if I’ll see you again
Though hope rests on my heart
I have my skepticism
About what I truly want
I let go so fast
I didn’t have time to say goodbye
I stepped out the door purely alone
My back turned on your grief stricken face
I know I can’t return to you
I fear the worse of my sorrows if I do
I’d give anything in my heart
To feel that tingle
That inflicted me each time our lips
Were intertwined ever so gently
But the feeling is fleeting
Disappearing like smoke to air
I feel your presence
Even if it is in my head
My reflection still is in the mirror
Maybe I’m not so alone
I can feel you in my heart
Though I still lack a true home
Your last words
Were ones of calmness and peace
I still hear them in my ears
Even if I was tortured and hurt
You are always innocent
It was me who ran off
You tried to give chase
For a long time
But I remained elusive
As a fox is in a wood
In times of grief
I turn to memories
In times of anger
I feel uncertainty
Why oh why
Does the sun rise in the sky
And the moon glow so brightly
I notice that as days continue on
My heart still calls to you
With conviction
In all that you do
I may not know where you are in this world
I may not know what it is that you do
But I know in my heart
Without a doubt
That I will always love you
And continue on forward
As I know that you’d want me to
I go and go it alone
I may not take steps in stride
But I do all that I can
Each day is new
Light shines through the clouds
Or the skies are a haze of grey
There may be rain some days
Or a blizzard the next
I seem to get on just fine
Through thick and thin
Hard and soft
Even when I’m at my doubts
And my words are short and cold
I remember those words you said that day
The words that are so old
All the love in the world cannot compare
To the love I have for you
I hope that day I’ll be able to see you
These words will still hold true
And not be empty
Like a box in the corner of the room
Continue on
As you used to say
Even if the days are tough
And the sky is grey
I know that burdens will slow me down
So I give it all I got
But there’s still more to do
I’m determined that one day
I’ll return to you.
